We will start with an introductory meeting to find out what brought you to therapy and things you would like to work on. From there, I will provide a warm and inviting setting where you can explore your feelings, all the while providing a safe setting. We will set up a treat plan with realistic goals so that you may achieve you full potential.

Having worked with many individuals for the past 25 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress for your overall wellness. By offering empathy, open communication, develop solutions together, we will build trust to provide compassionate acre and positive outcomes.
Ideal clients
Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way in a non judgmental environment.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is well researched evidence based therapy that is effective for treating depression and anxiety. By offering a non judgmental and collaborative environment, you can identify strategies to improve your quality of life.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a client centered approach to help to discover your own motivation and commitment to change. Through this conversational approach, we will use techniques such as active listening and affirmations to promote self efficacy.
